I for my part am glad that this demonstration/riot happened.

In fact, I wish such protests would happen at ANY Trump rally.

I'm an independent, man. I see through both sides. Both sides are foolish. I'm a honest voter.

What dog do you have in our fight? What skin do you have in the game?

I'm invested in other countries by marriage. I got myself in a bit of a skirmish, by telling some Filipinos why I felt it was a bad idea that Ferdinand Marcos' son is on the ballot, currently running for VP over there. Seems their professors over there have distorted history to the point where the Marcos family looks good in the class room. My wife lived through that regime, where he imposed martial law and remained president for far in excess of the normal presidential terms there. He imposed martial law because of his perception of a Muslim problem.

It's polite to correct people when they get something arse about face.

I think you have plenty of cocked up things to worry about over there. You can't fix our shit and I can't fix yours, but I guess we can all educate ourselves on world issues. :)

You do understand that the the United States has a long history of people disrupting the political events of other people. And that's alongside the history of more general type of protesting for various political goals.

A 'call to arms' in 1837

and an example of more general protests, the anti Catholic Bible riots of 1844:

The pearl clutching and general moaning and pissing over what, in the end, was a relatively tame political protest is hilarious.

Maybe all you folks need a 'Safe Space' ?
What's your point?

Holy shit. Organized groups of libtards now actively attacking people who do not agree with their insane beliefs. Though this sort of thing only happened in third world countries.

Part of the utter nonsense in this post and in the OP.

Answer this which side has been initiating physical violence?

Which side has advocated for punching people in the face and carrying out protestors in stretchers.

Did you see the clip of the black protestor being escorted out and was sucker punched by an old white redneck? This attack was witnessed by police but they did not arrest the white guy but arrested the black guy. The only reason the white guy was arrested days later, the incident was recorded.

All reporters who have covered the rallies in person have said none of the protestors have initiated violence. In fact one reporter was attacked by Trump's staff.

Its funny how Trump trash is suddenly against violence, after they've been attacking protesters constantly. All Trump supporters are worthless uneducated cowards.

I am all for demonstration's or rally's against him. Go for it! go out and tell why the person you are electing is better then the other.

I do feel where it crossed the line was taking over the convention center. While i don't like trump not allowing him to speak is wrong.

The one that you just made.

Good, because there's peaceful ways to protest. Especially in these types of situations. Verbal abuse and being deliberately disruptive isn't a peaceful way.its a deliberate method to incite anger which could lead to violence.

Can we get a refund on your failed education if you think liberals were fascists? Because holy shit what a waste of money. To think tax dollars were spent to try and educate someone like you.

No one but Trump stopped Trump from speaking.

No one stopped Trump from speaking. He just ran for the hills.
